Problem: How can we deepen young adults’ understanding of “Financial Literacy” to help them become more cautious on their financial decisions for their future?
Summary of Project
Students will meet with business partners to bring their financial literacy project to life.
Key Takeaways or Advice
I struggled with identifying the companies’ problems as stated in my initial training. Especially given that a project does take at least 6 weeks to complete. What would be beneficial is having a list of previous business partners to help support teachers in their process of developing a project. I would like to share to understand the business partner’s needs for the company. This will help identify a problem and find a solution to the company’s problem.
Learning Standards
- I can conduct research on financial literacy and consult with business partners to determine resources for youth to become financially literate.
